just love the child
My high school friends Julie and Dean's mother passed away yesterday after a long battle with altzhemiers. I am very close to the age that she would have been as I remember her. I don't like the idea of my contempories parents dying. It brings the reality of my parents mortality to the foreground and I don't like that. I was back in Lockport last week visiting Mom and Dad for a convienent Mom's birthday/Father's Day 2 birds with one stone kind of thing.
My mom has been battling MS for about 20 years now and lives her life exclusively between the bedroom, bathroom and den. It is hard to see her wasting away, but she does maintain a relatively good humor throughout it all. We watched Now, Voyager, probably my favorite movie, together and had a ball. I am grateful that I can be there for my parents today, I know that for so many years my addiction kept me out of my family.
On a lighter note, I am eating my favorite lunch today. A bag of fish, the Starkist Tuna Creations-zesty lemon pepper variety thank you very much. I actually found that I like this during Firm fit and have kept it up, and have continued with my weight loss and toning if you were wondering.
